I found this charming and heartening video on Brendan King's blog:

Hope it picks up your spirits in these dreary times, as it did mine.

I thought you'd be interested in taking a look at the use of A Greater
Town in distributing listing fliers through Craigslist.

1) Build a comprehensive marketing flier on A Greater Town, which may
include photos, maps, videos, text, links and graphics. Each agent or
broker is given a dedicated back-end console from which to manage
listings.
2) Post link to Craigslist

A Greater Town provides the message, Craigslist the vehicle.

I would appreciate your feedback if you have any, and thanks for looking.

We have just installed ActiveRain hyper-local quick-links from each town page throughout the country onto A Greater Town.

Here's an example, please let me know what you think:

http://www.agreatertown.com/montclair_nj

We've also added the same type of quick-links for OpenHouse.com .

Look to the left, scroll down a bit.

So now the public can:

a) check their local weather

b) check their open house

c) check their active rain

in that order.

Thanks for looking, please let me know what you think.

www.AGreaterTown.com - A homepage for every town.

www.AGreaterTown.com/gallery - make it a greater town.

A Greater Town is a free community-centric marketing site, with emphasis on art, culture, business and realty: a homepage for every town. We enable syndication as well as self-publishing, with hyper-local quick-links to global venues.

My name is Drew Knapp and I would like to introduce our new website,
www.AGreaterTown.com .

A Greater Town provides a homepage for every town. We focus on
community and marketing with an emphasis on art, culture, business and
realty.

I'd like to invite you to place your profile and listings on it at
absolutely no charge.

Here is an example of a typical town homepage:

Montclair

Here are a few examples of how you can use the site to promote
yourself, your listings, and your community:

explains OpenHouse.com, featured from each town homepage on
A Greater Town.

You can also sponsor a town page with your photo, logo and link to
your website for only $75 for the first year ( your price, when you
lock in now, is guaranteed to increase by no more than $12 per
year. ) Why so inexpensive? Because we are just launching site, and we
want your business now !

Each zip will be limited to four sponsorships, which will rotate with each pages view.

In the next few weeks we will launch our campaign, offering realtor
sponsorships entitled "Search Local Realty" ( residential ) and
"Commercial Realty."

For a list of locations in New Jersey
please visit: http://www.agreatertown.com/post/982

This will illustrate how we will structure the sponsorship campaign nationally.

If you are interested in reserving a town page, please contact me by either
phone or email at the address below.

If you want to use A Greater Town for free marketing also, like in
the examples above, visit
http://www.agreatertown.com/user/register_prompt/free_pass and follow
the prompts.

You can also use A Greater Town to help promote other businesses and
community groups, a great way to help others while showing off your
marketing skills.

We hope you will join our growing community !

Good luck with your listings, and best regards,
